The deciduous conifer known as a weeping larch (Larix decidua 'Pendula') is distinguished by its downward-hanging, "waterfall" branches. It has delicate, vivid green needles in the spring that turn golden-yellow in the fall before falling. It is frequently utilized as a tiny ornamental focal tree. A weeping larch (Larix decidua 'Pendula') in Southeast Missouri (USDA Zone 6-7) usually reaches a mature height of 6 to 12 feet tall and 4 to 10 feet wide, depending heavily on the initial grafting and staking height. Since this a cooler climate tree, it would benefit with afternoon shade so the leaves do not turn brown and fall off due to our Missouri heat.
